laetitia crucis Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 [quote name='Hilde' date='02 May 2010 - 06:34 PM' timestamp='1272836090' post='2103750'] That's how I read it in my head. [/quote] Most excellent. I mean, after all, the city [i]was [/i]named after King Louis XVI. I remember seeing a t-shirt around here that had at [i]least [/i]five different way of pronouncing "Louisville". I thought it was highly amusing. We also have a city named "Versailles"; however, to my initial horror, it is pronounced "Ver-sales". Ah, and a city named "Athens", but I've heard it pronounced "A-thins". When I first moved here, it made me twitch. Now I smile and kind of like it. [size="1"]It took me over ten years, but now I can finally say that I really do love Kentucky -- and mean it.

Jesus_lol Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 [quote name='Raphael' date='02 May 2010 - 12:49 PM' timestamp='1272829795' post='2103708'] I got the name of the place you put before your edit, but it seems Google Map doesn't know Comox Valley, either (although it does seem to know some area businesses). As for serial killers...well, what do you think I'm making this for? *mwahahahahaha!* jk I've met more PMers in real life than most of us and they'll all confirm that I'm harmless (although one of my jokes might kill you from boredom). I'm not really concerned about serial killers, given that it's unlisted in Google and pretty general. You'd need my name and town to find me (which you have), but then I'd also have to be listed in the phone book. You could find me other ways, though. [/quote] mmm, try courtenay, BC? if not just click it on vancouver island. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LouisvilleFan Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 [quote name='laetitia crucis' date='02 May 2010 - 06:16 PM' timestamp='1272834972' post='2103735'] Just because I'm curious, how do YOU pronounce "Louisville"? One of my good friends was born and raised there. She pronounces it "Lulvull". (But somehow there's a [i]slight [/i]two-syllable thing going on in the "Lul" part. ) I say "Louie-ville". [/quote] I'm kind of a lazy talker, so I say "Lou-ah-vul," but over the phone (I work in a call center) I go for more like "Loueyville" so it doesn't sound so much like a mumble. What parish do you attend? I know a priest and couple of deacons down in Radcliff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
